Main City Gate Photo

Photographer’s Note

Prospect Nezavisimosti (Independence Avenue) is the main and longest street in Minsk. It starts on the Independence Square ;) with lofty architecture of Stalin's style and goes to the east towards the road to Russia (Moscow Highway). The golden structure is a library being built on the initiative of the chief builder (chief teacher, chief economist, chief agriculturist, chief sportsman, chief...) of the country. Some people already call the structure Chupa Chups.
Taken from the office on the 11th floor.

Hello Aleksei,
I like your photo, also your notes.where else would we see your City, as it is.
little too much clouds, but you are high up 11th floor. good timing as the sun goes down.
Autumn color on the trees.
Thanks for sharing.
Rob.

You've captured some nice reflections off the library, Aleksei, which makes this quite an eye-catching composition. I agree with Robert that it would have been better to crop this a little tighter so that there was not so much sky within your frame. Cheers . . . David
